Last year we did an in

depth study of Teruah,

so we will not repeat that this year. It is available

on Vimeo and the PDF on our website for review.

This year since time is

short we want to

focus on the warning

aspect of the shofar.

The Day of Yahuah is near. Even if the end time is further off

than we might think, our own personal life

time is always shorter than we expect.

Are we ready? Have we stayed on the path? Are we

still under His protection?

Lev 23:23 And YahuahH3068 spokeH1696 toH413 Moses,H4872 saying,H559 23:24 SpeakH1696 toH413 the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 saying,H559 In the seventhH7637 month,H2320 in the firstH259 day of the month,H2320 shall you haveH1961 a Sabbathon – a Sabbath rest not on the weekly shabbath,H7677 a remembrance H2146 of Taruah- a blast of warning, war or joy,H8643 an set apartH6944 reading or reciting.H4744 23:25 You shall doH6213 noH3808 H3605 occupational H5656 workH4399 therein: but you shall approach and come nearH7126 the fireH801 into Yahuah.H3068

This is a time of reading and remembering the times the blasts were sounded and will sound. As a

warning, as a call to war and a shout of joy.

There is trouble ahead no doubt. We must keep searching ourselves to be

sure our hearts and minds are cleaving to Yahuah and that we are learning how to love Him with everything we

have.

To automatically put His instructions first and use them as the ruler for all our decisions, not just when it is convenient for us. This is the last warning before

judgement.

We may not always be watching Yahuah but we should be comforted or warned, that He is always

watching us. We will be judged by how we deal with the trials by fire. Listen to what He says in Ezekiel.

Eze 36:16 Moreover the wordH1697 of YAHUAH H3068 cameH1961 toH413 me, saying,H559 36:17 SonH1121 of man,H120 when the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 inH5921 their own land,H127 they defiledH2930 it by their own wayH1870 and by their doings:H5949 their wayH1870 wasH1961 beforeH6440 Me as the uncleannessH2932 of an adulterous woman.H5079 36:18 Wherefore I pouredH8210 My furyH2534 uponH5921 them forH5921 the bloodH1818 thatH834 they had shedH8210 uponH5921 the land,H776 and for their idolsH1544 wherewith they had pollutedH2930 it: 36:19 And I scatteredH6327 them among the heathen,H1471 and they were dispersed H2219 through the countries:H776 according to their wayH1870 and according to their doingsH5949 I judgedH8199 them.

36:20 And when they enteredH935 intoH413 the heathen,H1471 where ever H834 H8033 they went,H935 they profanedH2490 (breaking the) strong covenant mark (H853) My Set Apart H6944 name, reputation and authorityH8034 when they saidH559 to them, TheseH428 are the peopleH5971 of YAHUAH,H3068 and are gone forthH3318 out of His land.H4480 H776 36:21 But I had pityH2550 forH5921 Mine set apartH6944 name, reputation and authorityH8034 whichH834 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 had profanedH2490 among the heathen,H1471 whitherH834 H8033 they went.H935 36:22 ThereforeH3651 sayH559 to the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 ThisH3541 saysH559 Eternal H136 YAHUAH;H3069 IH589 doH6213 notH3808 this for your sakes,H4616 O houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 butH3588 H518 for My set apartH6944 reputation, authority and name'sH8034 sake, whichH834 you have profanedH2490 among the heathen,H1471 where everH834 H8033 you went.H935

8/12/2017 11

Eze 36:23 And I will sanctifyH6942 as strong covenant mark (H853) My greatH1419 name, reputation and authority,H8034 which was profanedH2490 among the heathen,H1471 whichH834 you have profanedH2490 in the midstH8432 of them; and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am YAHUAH,H3068 saysH5002 the EternalH136 YAHUAH,H3069 when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in you before their eyes.H5869 36:24 For I will takeH3947 you from amongH4480 the heathen,H1471 and gatherH6908 you out of allH4480 H3605 countries,H776 and will bringH935 you intoH413 your own land.H127 36:25 Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 uponH5921 you, and you shall be clean:H2891 from allH4480 H3605 your filthiness,H2932 and from allH4480

H3605 your idols,H1544 will I cleanseH2891 you.

36:26 A newH2319 heartH3820 also will I giveH5414 you, and a newH2319 RuachH7307 will I putH5414 withinH7130 you: and I will take awayH5493 as strong covenant mark (H853) the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of your flesh,H4480 H1320 and I will giveH5414 you an heartH3820 of flesh.H1320 36:27 And I will putH5414 My RuachH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH1980 inH854 My statutes,H2706 and you shall keepH8104 My judgments,H4941 and doH6213 them. 36:28 And you shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 thatH834 I gaveH5414 to your fathers;H1 and you shall beH1961 My people,H5971 and IH595 will beH1961 your Eternal.H430 36:29 I will also saveH3467 you from allH4480 H3605 your uncleannesses:H2932 and I will callH7121 forH413 the corn,H1715 and will increaseH7235 it, and layH5414 noH3808 famineH7458 uponH5921 you.

Eze 36:30 And I will multiplyH7235 as strong covenant mark (H853) the fruitH6529 of the tree,H6086 and the increaseH8570 of the field,H7704 thatH4616 H834 you shall receiveH3947 noH3808 moreH5750 reproachH2781 of famineH7458 among the heathen.H1471 36:31 Then you will remember H2142 as strong covenant mark (H853) your own evilH7451 ways,H1870 and your doingsH4611 thatH834 were notH3808 good,H2896 and shall be grieved and loathe yourselvesH6962 in your own sightH6440 forH5921 your iniquitiesH5771 and forH5921 your abominations.H8441 36:32 NotH3808 for your sakesH4616 doH6213 IH589 this, saysH5002 EternalH136 YAHUAH,H3069 be it knownH3045 to you: be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637 for your own ways,H4480 H1870 O houseH1004 of Israel.H3478

36:33 ThisH3541 saysH559 the EternalH136 YAHUAH;H3069 In the dayH3117 that I shall have cleansedH2891 you from allH4480 H3605 your iniquitiesH5771 I will also cause you to dwellH3427 as strong covenant mark (H853) in the cities,H5892 and the wastesH2723 shall be builded.H1129 36:34 And the desolateH8074 landH776 shall be tilled,H5647 whereasH8478

H834 it layH1961 desolateH8077 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 that passed by.H5674 36:35 And they shall say,H559 ThisH1977 landH776 that was desolateH8074 is becomeH1961 like the gardenH1588 of Eden;H5731 and the wasteH2720 and desolateH8074 and ruinedH2040 citiesH5892 are become fenced,H1219 and are inhabited.H3427 36:36 Then the heathenH1471 thatH834 are leftH7604 round aboutH5439 you shall knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 YAHUAHH3068 buildH1129 the ruinedH2040 places, and plantH5193 that that was desolate:H8074 IH589 YAHUAHH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and I will doH6213 it.

8/12/2017 13

Eze 36:37 ThisH3541 saysH559 the Eternal H136 YAHUAH;H3069 I will yetH5750 for thisH2063 be enquired ofH1875 by the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 to doH6213 it for them; I will increaseH7235 them

with menH120 like a flock.H6629 36:38 As the Set ApartH6944 flock,H6629 as the flockH6629 of JerusalemH3389 in her solemn feasts;H4150 soH3651 shall the wasteH2720 citiesH5892 beH1961 filledH4392 with flocksH6629 of

men:H120 and they shall knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am YAHUAH.H3068

8/12/2017 14

The only way we are gong to succeed in this journey is to trust Yahuah enough to actually do what He says, how He says to do it and

when He says, no matter how inconvenient or scary it is.

Is Yah the driving force in our lives or are we still trying to take

the wheel?

There are three types of behavior we really need to watch out for that Christianity has glossed over simply as “sin”. The three Hebrew words have been translated as sin, iniquity and transgression. Do we really understand the difference? We have studied some of these

words before.

8/12/2017

15

We need to learn the difference.

Pesha- H6588 from H6586

Chattah – H2398

Avon –H5771

8/12/2017 16

All iniquity and transgression is sin and misses the mark, but not all sin (missing the mark) is equal to iniquity and transgression. This is like the phrase: All

Arkansians are Americans but not all Americans are Arkansians. Scripture gives different meanings to sin, transgression and iniquity.

For example, in Exodus when Yahuah descended from the cloud and passed before Moses it is recorded:

Exodus 34:7 And Yahuah passed before him and proclaimed, “Yahuah, The Eternal,

merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7

keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity (H5771-Awon) and transgression (6588-Pesha) and sin (2403-Chatta-ah), by no means clearing the guilty, visiting

the iniquity (H5771-Awon) of the fathers upon the children and the

children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

This indicates that sin, transgression and iniquity are

different in some way. In fact, they represent increasing levels of missing the mark, against Yahuah and thus

removing us from His protection.

8/12/2017 17

Leviticus 16:21 has these same three words.

21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities

H5771-Awon of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions H6588-

Pesha in all their sins H2403-Chatta-ah, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a

fit man into the wilderness.

Daud also employs all three words.

"I acknowledged my sin (chatta'ah:H2403) to You,

And my iniquity ('avon:H5771) I have not

hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions

(pesha':H6588) to Yahuah," And You forgave the iniquity

('avon:H5771) of my sin (chatta'ah:H2403). Selah"

(Psalms 32:5).

8/12/2017 18

In another example, Yahshayahu (Isaiah), had a vision where he was taken to the throne room of Yah and was confronted with his own unrighteousness.

After Yahshayahu (Isaiah) declared his unworthiness, a messenger of Yahuah took a burning coal off the altar and touched Yahshayahu’s lips and said:

“Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity H5771 (awon) is taken away

and your sin H2403 (chattah) is forgiven.” (Isaiah 6:7)

Yahshayahu’s iniquity-Awon H5771 was surgically removed like some cancerous

growth, while his sin-Chattah H2403 was simply wiped away. Clearly, from this verse iniquity and sin were handled in

two distinct fashions, because they were different. We would make the

connection that iniquity or Awon demands a trial or cleansing by fire of

consequences where Chattah missing the mark may not.

8/12/2017 19

As we look at this please

remember these terms only refer to the covenant family member! This is not the

sinful world as a whole. We are talking about

people who made an oath to Yahuah and

failed on different levels

to keep that oath.

So, let’s look at Strong’s Dictionary

for each of the words to discern the differences

Loving the feel of the Ruach on our faces.

8/12/2017 20

The words sin and iniquity, are found together in some form in about 70 verses in Scripture. Many times, they are used parallel to one another, as in

Psalms 38:18: “For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.”

8/12/2017 21

Sin: H2403 Chatta-ah H2403 (Sin): an offence [i.e. a single event] • Sin is anything that comes short of the

standard of Yahuah. To miss the mark. In Yahuah’s eyes, the word pertains to a distinct and specific act of disobedience — a failure to achieve a certain standard of living

prescribed by the Torah.

Strong's Concordance # 2398. chata', khaw-taw'; a prim. root; prop. to miss; hence (fig. and gen.) to sin; by infer. to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, (causat.) lead astray, condemn:--bear the blame, cleanse, commit [sin], by fault, harm he

hath done, loss, miss, (make) offend (-er), offer for sin, purge, purify (self), make reconciliation, (cause, make) sin (-ful, -ness), trespass.

8/12/2017 22

Genesis 4:7 is the first place in the Tanak, where the word (chatta'ah:H2403) is used. "If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin (chatta'ah: H2403) lies at the door. And its desire is

for you, but you should rule over it" (Gen 4:7).

Yah's point to Cain and us, is that when we don't follow His Torah instructions

and prescriptions for living, we are immediately in danger of sinning, getting

off the path and under the control of another power. As we will see, it can lead

to full blown iniquity.

8/12/2017 23

Is it possible to sin without a “conscience problem”? Yes, if you do something through ignorance. If you do something through ignorance you would not have a guilty conscience. But later, when you find out that what

you did was wrong, then your conscience will bother you and it would be sin. Your shalom – peace is disturbed by the Ruach.

Let's notice the example of Abimelech: "And Abraham journeyed from there to the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar. {2} Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." And

Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. {3} But Yah came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, "Indeed you are a dead man

because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man's wife." {4} But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, "Yahuah, will You slay a righteous nation also? {5} "Did he not say to me, 'She is my sister'? And

she, even she herself said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this." {6} And Yah said to him in a dream, "Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For I

also withheld you from sinning against Me; therefore, I did not let you touch her" (Gen 20:1-6).

8/12/2017 24

Yah takes ignorance into account. When we are acting with integrity of heart, like Abimelech, but we lack understanding or knowledge, or we have been

given incorrect information, like Abimelech, and we are going to do something that is wrong. Notice what will happen: Yah will send us a warning just like he did with Abimelech. Yah will help us to keep on the right path. Notice Yah put it in Abimelech’s righteous heart not to touch her. If Abimelech’s heart was like the Pharaoh’s it would have been a different story. Also it is important to

note that Abimelech knew Yahuah’s name.

Webster's Dictionary defines the word

"integrity" as: "a firm adherence to a code of

especially moral values." A synonym is

"honesty."

Yah will help to keep us honest. Sometimes we might say, I will go ahead and sin and then repent later. With that type of a rebellious attitude, Yahuah will

not send a warning because you would reject it. You have crossed over into

transgression or Pesha H6588.

8/12/2017 25

Example: Hosea 13:2 (KJV) "And now they sin (chata':H2398) more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the

calves."

The word is also used in Judges 20:16 to describe left-handed slingers who could hurl a stone at a hair and “not miss the mark.” Ah, to be able to do that with

Yahuah’s word!

8/12/2017 26

There are many things we do that make us miss the mark which we usually don’t classify as sin. For example:

Vengeance – Taking what is Yahuah’s and acting above our pay grade.

Pride – “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

(Prov. 16:18) Gossip & Slander – “And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is

so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire

the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.” (James 3:6)

Worry – shows we do not trust Yahuah and His

authority to keep us safe. Shame – shows we have

not cleansed out our deepest sins with Yahuah.

Lusts of the flesh – Nuff said Improper thoughts – Fill in the

blank

8/12/2017 27

On the flip side, we also need to consider not just missing the mark in

falling short, but when we overshoot the target. When we go beyond the scope of Yahuah’s instructions. An example would be when we add to the scriptures or try and take control when Yahuah is driving.

By knowing the Torah we will find that sweet spot of what is instructed for our benefit and safety and what is beyond our comprehension to make a righteous

decision and the ability to know the difference between the two.

Joshua 1:7 You be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the instructions, which Moshe my servant appointed to you. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may

prosper wherever you go.

8/12/2017 28

Here is a sobering word Yahuah gives us about the Feast of Tabernacles. These feasts are important!

In Zekaryah speaking of the end times and the nations that come against Yarushalom- Yah expects the gentiles to come and bow to the Sovereign,

Yahuah of hosts and to Celebrate the Festival of Sukkoth!

The word most often translated as

"punishment" is the Hebrew word "chatta'ah" or sin. "This shall be the

SIN (chatta'ah:H2403) of Egypt and the SIN

(chatta'ah:H2403) of all the nations that do not

come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles." Yah

considers this missing the mark!

Many times when Yahuah speaks about

the Gentile nations He will often use the word "Sin" but when He is speaking about Israel

He uses the word "transgression."

8/12/2017 29

Why? Because they are breaking their covenant with Yahuah, just like we would be. There is more accountability. They should know better-they and we have no excuse. When they and we rebel against His instructions, they and we are rejecting Yahuah and His word. It is that simple and that frightening. We take ourselves out of His

hands of protection.

Today, the people in the world, who do not keep

the Feast of Tabernacles are sinning, they are

missing the mark. But, if we, who are in the

Covenant, do not keep the Feast of Tabernacles, it

is not sin, it is a transgression due to

rebellion. For us, we would be rejecting the

knowledge that Yahuah has given us. We would be rebelling against Yahuah

himself.

Sin starts before the action comes about.

The physical transgression of the wrong way of thinking is a consequence to what started in the

mind.

Remember when much is given much is required. We have been truly blessed to know Yahuah’s

truth at this time.

8/12/2017 30

Rebellion- PESHA H6588 (Transgression)- Penalty of Non Eternal Life:

The Hebrew meaning is: transgression, rebellion, revolt. Pesha', peh'-shah; from H6586; a revolt (national, moral or religious):--

rebellion, sin, transgression, trespass.

8/12/2017 31

Repeated sin becomes outright rebellion, ”which is as the sin of witchcraft” (1Samuel 15:23) “An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a

cruel messenger will be sent against him.” (Prov. 17:11)

Prov 10:19 When words are many transgression (pesha':H6588) is not absent but he that restrains

his lips is wise."

This could be the worst of all. It also had a death penalty. It means to "break away from authority." It is the sin of open and knowing

revolt....against Yahuah and His word.

It is the sin of "rebellion against Yahuah," which at the end of the day, is really the

worst sin of all because it is willful sin, which is never repented of...better known as the

unpardonable sin of the Eyewitness Accounts. This sin is not unpardonable

because Yah refuses to forgive. It is only unpardonable because it is based upon a deep spirit of willful permanent rebellion. This is

why the messengers who rebelled with Shatan will never be forgiven!

8/12/2017 32

Isaiah 24:5 “The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.”

This is flat out knowing the truth and rejecting it because … fill in the blank. Family, work, friends, money, pride. If you are a covenant family member and rebel knowingly – that is not good. You have no excuse and no protection. You are now the prodigal son, out on your

own, sleeping with the pigs. But until the door is shut or your life is done, you can still choose to repent and come back home. Your covenant family and the Ruach will leave the

light on for you! But if you die in the rebellion you have forfeited your eternal life. It was your choice, you took yourself off the trail and into the tar pit.

8/12/2017 33

Iniquity H5771 AWON (Iniquity)- Penalty -Non Eternal Life

The word, iniquity, comes from in-equity and it refers to that which is unequal, unfair, or unjust. Perversity, that is, (moral) evil.

Strong's Concordance # 5771. 'avon, aw-vone'; or 'avown (H2 Kings 7 : 9; Psa. 51 : 5 [H7]), aw-vone'; from H5753; perversity, i.e. (moral) evil:--fault,

iniquity, mischief, punishment (of iniquity), sin.

“It signifies not merely that which is wrong, but the tendency to do wrong. Iniquities are second nature sins, which drive us to repeatedly, continually

commit sin. A perversion of the truth, which leads to error. A perversion of intents, which affects our will. Sin and Transgression are Verbs and things we do: Iniquity is the bent condition of what we are. Iniquity revolves more about the underlying attitudes: Idolatry, Racism, Gluttony, Covetousness,

Unrighteousness, wickedness, lawlessness.

8/12/2017 34

Example: 1 Kings 17:18 (KJV) "And she said to Eliyah, What have I to do with you, O you man of

Yahuah? Are you coming to me to call my sin (iniquity) (avon) to remembrance, and to slay my

son?"

Keep in mind that on Taruah we are to blow the blast for remembrance! Can it be to remember our

iniquities and ask Yahuah for forgiveness before it is too late? To hear this at this time of our lives as a

sound of warning? Remember the next feast is atonement and reconciliations! How can we be

reconciled if we are not asking for our iniquity to be cleansed from us- the most dangerous of all

transgressions?

According to "Crabb's Synonyms," iniquity in its most narrow meaning "consists of violating the law of right between man and man." The Oxford English Dictionary says that it is used especially of "wrongful or injurious

actions towards another, infliction of wrong, injury." To practice iniquity is to be unjust and unequal in our dealings with others.

8/12/2017 35

We know how Yah hates an unbalanced weights and measures!

We see this side of iniquity often in scripture. The workers of iniquity are those who eat up Yah's people like bread: Psalms 14:4 “Have all

the workers of iniquity no knowledge? Who eat up my people as they eat bread and to not call

upon Yahuah?

8/12/2017 36

(Prov. 6:14) “Perversity is in his heart, he devises evil continually, he sows discord.”

Psalms 28:3. Draw me not away with the wicked and with the workers of iniquity, which speak

peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts-

Psalms 141:9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the sins of the workers of iniquity.

Even the money Judas received for betraying Yahusha was called “the reward of iniquity”. Acts 1:18.

Thus sin, when repeated against the knowledge of Yahuah,

becomes transgression which, if it continues long enough,

eventually becomes iniquity which perverts the flesh.

This perversion changes the DNA/RNA structure of the “flesh” resulting in

genetic changes that are passed on from generation to generation – just as the

Scripture says in the Second Instruction, which has not been repealed

by Yahuah! This is the way high blood pressure, alcoholism, sexual perversions,

jealousy, anger, fear, etc. are passed down from generation to generation.

8/12/2017 37

I, Yahuah your Eternal, am a jealous Eternal, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who

hate Me. (Exodus 20:8)

There is a progression from sin, to transgression, to iniquity (bondage

in that particular area) .This progression is also described by

James 1:15:

Yaccob 1:15 “Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when

it is full-grown, brings forth death”.

The word iniquity ‘awon’ refers to the character behind the action which is why in Psalms 32:5, David writes about how Yahuah forgave the “iniquity of his sin.” “I acknowledged my sin to You, and my wickedness I did not hide. I have said, “I confess my transgressions to Yahuah and You forgave the wickedness of my sin, selah. Therefore, let every kind one pray to You while You might be

The Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia describes iniquity as the character of an individual, which has a twist, perversion or bend towards sin. Though

iniquity does include the idea of sin, it involves much more than this and refers to an individual’s very nature.

8/12/2017 39

Because iniquity is the character behind the sin, it becomes the source of the sin acts. In a nutshell iniquity is a sin

addiction.

For example, A man can receive an email tempting him to look at pornography. He

clicks on the link and views the site. Having been tempted a few times,

something changes. Suddenly, these urges start rising up inside him to see

these websites on his own. He no longer needs an external temptation. When

that happens, the sin has transformed to iniquity.

8/12/2017 40

This characteristic of iniquity is seen in Isaiah 64:6,7 where Yahuah told Israel that they were delivered over to the ‘power’ of iniquity (v 7). Yahshayahu then uses the analogy of leaves being carried away by the

wind as a graphic illustration of iniquity’s unusual capacity.

The withered dead leaf (Israel) was helpless in the face of the wind

(iniquity) and was blown anywhere the wind decided to go.

This means that when people have iniquity in their lives, they are no longer in control of

their own destiny. Another force controls their life. Can you guess which force it is? It’s not

one you want to be with you!

8/12/2017 41

We see this principle at work in the life of Simon the magician (Acts 8:5), who for years, made his living dazzling the people of Samaria with his magical arts. He was rather famous and promoted himself as the “Great Power of Eternal” (vs 10, 11).

But there was such a powerful move of the true Yahuah in Samaria, that Simon became

a follower of the way. Because of his notoriety, Simon’s conversion was quite noteworthy. He was probably the first Hollywood-style convert of that time.

Simon joined up with Philip and watched this disciple in action. The converted magician witnessed first-hand the miracles and was

suitably impressed by what he saw. He was so awed by the display of Yah’s power working through Philip, that the magician offered

money so he would have the ‘authority’ to do the same miracle.

8/12/2017 42

Simon treated the filling of the Ruach as little more than another magic trick, which he wanted to add to his repertoire. Peter

immediately rebuked Simon for suggesting that this gift could be bought and turned for a profit. Peter saw that Simon was in the

bondage — literally fetters — of iniquity (Act 8:23). ** Add 21-24**

Simon’s iniquity was attached to his desire for fame and this deep inward compulsion drove the magician to crave this power no matter what price he

had to pay to secure it.

This story also shows that iniquity can show up in a variety of areas. It is not

relegated to just sexual sins.

8/12/2017 43

Job 31, lays out a very detailed list of why he thought he had not transgressed, rebelled or missed the mark. It is well worth the read and to look at our own

lives against this standard. Job calls out Adam for trying to cover-up his sin by hiding his iniquity (awon) in his bosom in the Garden of Eden. This is another

interesting characteristic about iniquity. It is often our greatest secret.

8/12/2017 44

The reason that people hide their iniquity is fear of rejection. People snared by iniquity believe that others will be so disgusted with their secret sins that they

will no longer have any respect for them. It’s all about losing face. Often a person struggling with alcohol addiction will try to keep it hidden, even though everyone

knows the person has a problem. It is part of his cover-up.

This is why in Ezekiel 18:30, 31, Yahuah warns Israel to turn away from their sin-Chatta-ah H2403- ignoring the

standards laid down in the Torah, so that their iniquity (awon) would not become a stumbling block to them.

But if we truly know Yah, like Daud, we know we cannot hid this from Him and we should come clean about it and work on getting rid of it. Daud is awesome

not because he was perfect, but because he respected Yah enough to be honest with Him about his darkest thoughts and actions. He asked for

forgiveness and then got back on the path, accepting the consequences of his actions without complaint. He had no one to blame but himself. He was not

playing the victim.

From this we see the natural progression. The little “sins” do matter. They are powerful gateway behaviors that will lead us out of Yah’s

protection and eternal death.

8/12/2017 45

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do is come clean on your iniquity. You have to acknowledge your sin to Yahuah. You have to confess to

yourself and Yah that you have an addiction.

The second thing is to understand that Yahusha has paid the price for our

iniquity, but only if we stop it. We can’t keep hanging on to it. We can only be

cleansed of it, if we let it go. Christians do not believe this. They think they are cleansed no matter what they do. They don’t have to change, that is ”works”!

But He was pierced through for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being

fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. (Isaiah

53:5 NASV) ADD 6

8/12/2017 46

Does this make more sense now why Yahusha’s trial of fire had to be so brutal? He was taking on the worst of the crimes against Yahuah! Crimes that Yahuah

will not forgive Shatans messengers for! Now do you also see why Shatan would hate us even more? But Yah is just!. Gentiles are not judged as harshly as covenant members and covenant members are not judged as harshly as the messengers! Why? Because the Covenant Family have more truth than the

Gentiles and the messengers had all the truth and rebelled!

8/12/2017 47

Ezekiel 28:14-18 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you. By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, and you sinned. Your heart was lifted up

because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. You defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trading.” Satan was perfect until iniquity was found in

him.

We need to realize that we are not capable of doing this on our own. We must get back to the baby steps of hitting the mark on the Torah

standard and staying in the word. Everyday making Torah filled choices will transform us back and cleanse us.

8/12/2017 48

We need look no further than to Yahuah to see what the opposite of iniquity is.

Deut 32:4 He (Yahuah) is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgement: An Eternal of TRUTH and without iniquity, just and right is He.

2 Chronicles 19:7 Wherefore now let the reverence of Yahuah our Eternal, be upon you; take heed to do it, for there is no iniquity with Yahuah our Eternal, nor respect of persons nor

taking of gifts

We can’t bribe Yah, we must respect and trust Him enough to be honest and truthful with Him. To be just and right is the

contrast to iniquity. We need to mirror that back to Him through our trials of fire.

8/12/2017 49

Even though the simple fact is we can never repay Yahuah for what He has

done for us, we also take Yah for granted by treating Him unequally

compared to what we deem important in our lives. These are the idols that we put in front of Him, taking up His time and

rightful place in our hearts. Sports, entertainment, family, friends, money,

you name it. We burn up our time in trivial things much like the people of old

burned incense to their idols.

See Yahshayahu (Isaiah) 65:7. “Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together, says Yahuah, which have burned incenses upon the mountains, and

blasphemed Me up on the hills, therefore, will I measure their former work into their bosom.

8/12/2017 50

When we fail to listen to Yahuah as a trusted mentor, the Creator of the Universe, we are not treating Him right or justly give Him the time that is required to teach us what He wants us to know. It is truly the only worthy investment on the planet. Our time now invested in Him so He can invest His

time in Eternity with us. Such a deal!

Get a good old dictionary,

printed before 1950, and it will

give you the truth almost every time. Iniquity is

GROSS INJUSTICE.

8/12/2017 51

The most GROSS INJUSTICE is to say that the Righteous Judge of all the Universe, is wrong in any judgment. That is precisely what we do whenever we excuse or cover our sin. Excusing one's sin is iniquity. When we cover our own sin or excuse our sin, or rationalize our sin, or fail to agree with Yahuah that

our sin is sin, we turn that sin into iniquity. Adam's sin of eating the forbidden fruit turned to iniquity when he said in Gen 3:12 ...,’The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me.." He not only started to blame Eve he was saying

Yah’s choice of a help mate was flawed! Yikes!

When we repent, we agree with Yahuah

that we were wrong; and, we agree to

turn away and stop that sin. We agree

to make it a priority to keep our word and stay on the

path.

Remember this warning?

8/12/2017 52

Mat 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Teacher, Teacher, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto

them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

8/12/2017 53

Could "Once saved always saved" be considered

iniquity? In propagating such false doctrines does one become a worker of

iniquity? Is the profession of la la land

pre-trib/post trib rapture doctrines a work

of iniquity?

May be tough questions, but not nearly as tough as standing before the Righteous Judge and Creator of the Universe as a worker of iniquity!

What about those who teach it is ok to work on Shabbat? Is it really ok to break a specific covenant mark, after Yahuah told us specifically not to? Is

Yahuah so small He cannot find us a better job? Better, meaning one that does not require us to break our covenant with Him? Is our faith in Him so small we cower to this trial by fire-not remembering He is in the fire with us? He tells

us those who do this are to be banished from the assembly and they have chosen a path that will lead to eternal death. Don’t believe us? Look it up!

8/12/2017 54

There will be no workers of iniquity in

the Kingdom of Yahuah. A worker of iniquity is anyone who

tries to rationalize any excuse for sin. Any

rationalization for any sin, is iniquity. Any

rationalization excuses for any sin, says the

Righteous Judge of all the Universe is not

righteous in His judgment, because by trying to rationalize it

we are admitting on some level we know it

is wrong. Therefore we are not innocently missing the mark

because we do know where dead center is.

8/12/2017 55

The problem with iniquity is that in making the excuse for the sin we not only refuse to repent, we judge Yahuah by saying He has somehow made a mistake. That what we did is not really a transgression. That is how our sin turns into

iniquity. We don’t think He is talking to us, that instruction is for everybody else. Remember Yah is not a respecter of persons! A great proof of this is the fact

that Yah took back the life of Daud’s and Bathsheba’s son conceived in the act of total rebellion against Yahuah! If anyone would have gotten a pass it would be Daud. What about Yahusha? If there was any way for him to get a pass from

executing his task at Pesach- would not Yahuah have spared him? But He could not! Righteously speaking, the penalty for sin is death! For any sin, rebellion or

iniquity to be forgiven, we must admit honestly what it is. And make sure we don’t continue to do it.

8/12/2017 56

Psa 38:1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O Yahuah, rebuke me not in Your wrath: neither chasten me in Your hot displeasure. Psa 38:4 For mine

iniquities are gone over mine head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

The difference between Daud and many today, is that Daud was troubled by his iniquity. And he wanted help with it before Yahuah got really upset about

it to the point of wrath. It is so much better for us to bring it to Yahuah, rather than have Yahuah have to bring it to us with a trial by fire! Then there

is hope.

Today, Satan and his luciferian new world order is trying to wear out the patience of the saints. Daud also talks about being under a demonic attack from a plaguing spirit of discouragement! Sometimes it is hard to tell the

difference between the convicting work of the Set Apart Spirit and a demonic attack of discouragement. The difference is hope. Seek diligently to see if you

have covered, or made any excuse for any sin.

8/12/2017 57

When we have stopped making any excuse for a rebellion, and agreed to live by Yahuah’s standard, we should ask that this rebellion be covered by Yahusha’s payment. Don't let Shatan beat you up for any past and forgiven sin. We are

free from it and running in the opposite direction!

It is a demonic discouraging spirit that would say that any sin that you have asked Yahuah to forgive through the payment of Yahusha and you have

stopped doing, is not forgiven, not gone and not forgotten by Yah. The spirit behind that, comes straight from the bowels of hell. In these days when the luciferian new world order is trying to wear us down, we need to understand

that we will be attacked. We will be attacked by a demonic discouraging spirit.

8/12/2017 58

Sin is like having chain around your ankle, which constantly hinders you. Sin trips us up,

causes us to slip, to err, and to just miss the mark. Iniquity defiles our character. It

gives us a crooked arrow to start with.

Proverbs 5:22 “The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him.” There is a sin that becomes like cords which wrap around you. You get caught in the entanglement and just

cannot break free. These cords are cords of iniquity.

8/12/2017 59

Genesis 4:13 “Cain said, “My punishment [iniquity] is greater than I can bear!” This is the first time iniquity appears in Scripture.

Know the time will come when every dedicated

Covenant Family member is overwhelmed by a sudden

and unexpected experience. Iniquity, and the spirit of discouragement are Satan's

most potent weapons against us. Shatan has got you if he can get you to

excuse a sin and he will try to make you feel good on your way to extinction.

Psa 38:22 Make haste to help me,

O Yahuah my salvation.

8/12/2017 60

Scripture Definitions of Iniquity: Psalms 36:2 “For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be

hateful.” (pridefullness becomes hate towards others) Ezekiel 33:13 “[I]f he trusts to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity… (self

righteousness). Psalms 28:3 “[T]he workers of iniquity… mischief is in their hearts” (mischief— cf.

Psalms 7:14). II Samuel 19:19 “[L]et not my Yahuah impute iniquity to me… your servant did

perversely… (perversion— Ezekiel 9:9; Job 6:30) Ezekiel 18:24 “But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and

commits iniquity…” (unrighteousness— cf. Ezekiel 3:20).

Daniel 9:5 “And have committed iniquity… and have rebelled…” (rebellion). Hosea 9:9 “They have deeply corrupted themselves… he will remember their

iniquity…” (corruption of ourselves- no one else is to blame). Ezekiel 18:18 “Because he cruelly oppressed… he shall die in his iniquity”

(oppression). Hosea 5:5 the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and

Ephraim fall in their iniquity…” (pride). Leviticus 26:43 Iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments…” (cf.

Numbers 15:31). (Despising Yah’s instructions and verdicts of consequenses). I Samuel 3:13 I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knows;

because his sons made themselves vile…” (Vileness) I Samuel 15:23 “Stubbornness is as iniquity…” (Stubbornness). Isaiah 32:6 The vile person… his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy…”

(hypocrisy).

8/12/2017 61

Whoever says “ I know Him but does not guard His

instructions is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 2:4

8/12/2017 62

We can't ever think we will get away with hiding or excusing a sin or thinking Yahuah has abandoned us. We see His immediate response to this kind of accusation in

Numbers: Wherefore have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the

wilderness? For there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loathes this

light bread; and Yahuah sent fiery serpents

among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of

Israel died" (Numbers 21:4-6).

"(Israel) journeyed from

mount Hor by the way of the Red

Sea…and the soul of the people was much discouraged

because of the way. And the people spake

against Yahuah, and against Moses.

8/12/2017 63

When the Torah tells us our loving heavenly father sent fiery serpents upon His own people, and that they died from the snake bites, we can't ignore the

very clear message: Yah will not allow such lack of trust among his family! After all that our precious Father has done for us, the most hurtful accusation we can make against Him is that He has neglected us. We are to beware of not trusting Him, especially in our difficult times. Even at his lowest point, David

wouldn't allow himself to wallow in victimology but had expectations of deliverance.

Psa 38:15 For in You, O Yahuah, do I

have expectations:

You will hear, O Yahuah my Eternal.

Keep the accounts short. Remember the next feast is

Yom Kippur or Day of Reconciliations. Now is our last warning to have all our

transgressions covered. Yah will be reconciling the books to see who’s white robe has been paid for and who still

wears the meat suit of death.

8/12/2017 64

Would it not be good to go through the 10 instructions check list in Exodus 20 and ask Yah's forgiveness and mercy through the payment of

Yahusha for every transgression daily? I don't know about you but I have transgressed all 10 of them. Going through them and asking for

forgiveness for each of those specific instruction transgressions to be covered is most wonderful. They were put under the cover of Yahusha.

This is a great follow up verse for daily reading.

Isa 43:1 But now this say Yahuah that created you, O Jacob, and He that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have

called you by your name; You are mine.

8/12/2017 65

The great tribulation is ahead of us. We need all the love and protection we can get!
